Developed over the last few years whilst teaching critical thinking and ethics to middle school students, the Talker's Toolkit clearly frames the skills and habits needed for success. It is an effective guide for teachers and students using dialogue in the classroom, whether in Community of Inquiry, P4C or guided discussion.
You will be introduced to the Talker's Toolkit and also receive a digital copy for your personal use. Lorelei will give insights into its application, including how you can use it to frame meaningful learning using dialogue and also as a way to focus on specific skills and habits with students.
This is a unique opportunity to enhance your professional knowledge of strategies in critical thinking with a practical tool that you can use immediately in the classroom.
